I tend to understand a lot of this stuff but the issue I struggle with the most is remembering it all off the top of my head which is what usually is my biggest weakness when entering technical interviews and when I start getting asked questions about this stuff. I hate studying before such events to make it look like I do remember or know this stuff I'd rather be up front and honest and say I got a high level overview of this or I haven't studied that in awhile but I know X, Y and Z about it. I really hate this idea that everyone should just know all this stuff and study on it all the time
